BREAKING NEWS at The Washington Post is the story I wrote over a year ago about the FBI sitting on Comey's request to review the Clinton emails on Weiner's PC. It took a year, but I promised everyone this would eventually hit the mainstream—and now it has. washingtonpost.com/world/national…

2/ Long story short: I showed in four late 2016/early 2017 articles in The Huffington Post that the NYC field office of the FBI deliberately ignored Comey's orders in the Clinton investigation in a way that forced him to "re-open" the Clinton probe, giving the election to Trump.

3/ While agents in "Trumplandia"—what the NYC field office of the FBI was called due to its militant pro-Trump faction—sat on evidence they were supposed to be analyzing, they were leaking information to Rudy Giuliani to help Trump's team initiate a pressure campaign on Comey.

(THREAD) On November 4, 2016—96 hours before the presidential election—Trump advisor Erik Prince went on a radio network controlled by Trump campaign CEO Steve Bannon to say that an anti-Clinton cabal at NYPD was conspiring to leak false information about Clinton pre-election.

2/ The facts here are undisputed:

(1) This interview occurred and Prince said what he said.(2) Prince was in contact with Bannon before and after the election.(3) Prince was a Trump advisor.(4) Everything he said was a lie.(5) What NYPD planned to put out was disinformation.

3/

(6) Prince makes clear NYPD was coercing the FBI by threatening to put out disinformation.(7) The coercion worked; Comey reopened the Clinton probe to prove the emails did *not* say what NYPD claimed.(8) Giuliani was receiving leaks from active FBI agents and NYPD officers.
